Episode notes

Part of what's happening is a reckoning around not necessarily crypto in general, but crypto middlemen. It's more question of how much longer will it be tolerable to have companies operating as taking customer deposits with so little oversight. BP was actually the first Western company to say it would divest following the Russian invasion. The big moment that really made me realize the implications of Russian invasion of Ukraine on the energy market wasBP's decision back in February three days after the invasion to announce that it was planted to divest its stake in the Russian state and producerwas left.

The Bank of Japan stunned markets with an unexpected change to its controversial yield curve control policy, and a group of FTX customers will try to secure quicker repayment for people who have money trapped with the defunct exchange. Plus, we take a look back at the biggest energy story of 2022.
